The unpolarized resonator generated 115W of output. When polarized by a Brewster plate, it reached 100.5W of output power at a beam quality M2 < 2. Best measured beam quality was of 1.1 and 1.3 in the x and y directions respectively, with 76W of 95% polarized output. The output power achieved is, to our knowledge, the highest reported for continuous polarized, fundamental-mode lasers using standard side-pumped Nd:YAG modules.271-275openAccessneodymium laserslasersresonatorssolid state laserstemperature dependencediode-pumped solid state lasersbeamsquality factorArtigo de periódico9610.1016/j.optlastec.2017.05.020https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9379-953066.48
